When you run RWW (http://FQDN/remote), you are presented with a list of computers that you can select from to connect to. If you want to hide a computer from the Connect to my computer at work, create (add) the following key to Registry on the server, and add the machine you want to hide. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\RemoteUserPortal\ExcludeList (String Value) It is a comma-delimited list fo computers to exclude from the RWW computer selection page.

Services may stop abruptly when you shut down or restart a Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computerhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=839262 This reg key should be checked and corrected – no exceptions! I am also including a link to a VBS script file (see below) provided by Jeff that automatically makes the appropriate registry change. I’ve tested it on my home server. Note: be sure to save the VBS script file to your SBS server and run it only from your server. That is, don’t be like me and try to run it on your workstation — it will try to update your workstation’s registry! http://www.csbsupport.com/KB839262_Fix_R1.vbs

PROBLEM: I’ve configured two SBS03 servers and one of them is attaching the backup log files with the daily status report e-mail and the other is not. I’ve gone through the backup and monitoring wizards on the server that is not sending the logs and I can’t find or remember where to set that option. I’ve searched the online help (not thoroughly enough, I’m sure) and can’t find the answer there, either. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks. SOLUTION: To configure ‘Server Status Report’ to include ‘Backup Logs’, please do the following steps: 1. ‘Server Management’ ‘ ‘Standard … Continue reading Attach tape backup logs to the daily server status e-mailed report

Here’s the procedure for Trend CSM for SMB. 1. Decide whether you want to use the Adminstrator account for CSM, or another account.

Enter the FQDN server.domain.local OR the IP of the SBS. I prefer the IP, it seems to work better.4. Install into IIS Virtual Web Site (NOT the default web site).5. Use port 8085 for communication.6. Deselect SSL.7. Use Administrator account – If ISA enter proxy info, if … Continue reading How to install Trend C/S/M for SMB
